Camila Cabello is back in the rehearsal studio – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the singer shows off her flat abs in a crop top and pants, while practicing her dance moves. “Everything’s fleeting 🩰💘🩰💘,” she captioned the post. “Mamma miaaa🔥🔥🔥,” commented one of her followers. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Strength Training and HIIT
Cabello relies on personal trainer Jenna Willis to keep her body in shape. Willis dished on her star client to Shape, revealing that they train together 2 to 3 times a week focusing on strength training, HIIT, and balance exercises. This includes complex movements that target the whole body and exercises such as bird dogs to fire hydrants, squat hops, high plank shoulder taps, and glute bridges with dumbbell pullovers, in addition to bodyweight squats and crunches.
2. Dancing
Cabello, who spends a lot of time dancing, makes sure to infuse dance moves into her workouts. “We end up getting in an added ab workout because of how much we end up laughing,” Willis told Shape. “Somehow she manages to keep me on my toes and turn every cardio move into an incredible-looking dance move.”
3. Healthy Diet

Camila’s ex, Shawn Mendes, “influenced” her to be healthier and got her more focused on produce. “I was not healthy at all before. I never ate vegetables before. Just like, easy vegetables like cucumbers or cold carrots with cesar. Which I wouldn’t say are hard vegetables,” she told BBC Radio.
4. Meditation

Camila is also a believer in the power of meditation, which “changed” her life, she wrote on Instagram. “I didn’t share this with you guys at the time because honestly I was just trying to be okay, but I was experiencing severe anxiety. it was meditation- it was practicing every single day multiple times a day that has been healing me, and, more than just helping me manage strong emotions like anxiety and stress, it’s making me a better human. not only does it help in times like this with stress and anxiety, meditation is the practice of strengthening habits like empathy, love, and compassion- making you feel more connected to not only everybody around you , but living beings in general like animals, plants, and the earth, which is a living being, itself.” “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:
- Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
- Building skills to manage your stress
- Increasing self-awareness
- Focusing on the present
- Reducing negative emotions
- Increasing imagination and creativity
- Increasing patience and tolerance
- Lowering resting heart rate
- Lowering resting blood pressure
- Improving sleep quality
5. Hiking
When she has time off, you can find Camila hiking. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.
6. Paddleboarding
Camila enjoys standup paddle boarding. “Nothin to do nowhere to be,” she captioned a paddleboarding snap. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio.
